Realized What's Important

Yesterday Chris came home and found me crying. I was so upset, I had broke down crying so often that day. We are struggling financially, and the burden weighs heavy on Chris and flows to me. He is so stressed these days, and it breaks my heart. I just couldn't control my emotions yesterday, and yes, I am sure that the pregnancy hormones do play a big role in my emotional rollercoaster, but lately, I am crying allot. Anyways, he came home from work and I couldn't stop crying and he held me and looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Baby, it's going to be ok, everything will be ok, I promise". He also told me that a co-worker had lost his Dad the night before and another co-worker had just lost his grandfather. He told me that he realized all we had to be blessed about, and how small and not-important getting all mad, angry, stressed is, in comparrison to thier losses.

I finally stopped my uncontrolable crying, and was more grateful than I can express for these few minutes where my husband was compassionate, honest and understanding. I was so grateful that the Lord helped him see these losses and realize what was truly important. I was grateful for so much.

He was so kind, gentle and loving. I shared with him the baby memory book I bought, we laid together listening to music in the dark, and then later went to dinner. We had a great evening together.
